Training in the Big Easy for AJC Peachtree Road Race

NEW ORLEANS, La. - Hey there fellow runners! Had an opportunity to spend my vacation in New Orleans this past week and had way too much to eat and countless cocktails - don't worry - I got around in a taxi. But what in the world was I thinking? I'm supposed to be training for a race, right?

The food was so good! I did, however, run every morning with a couple of my buddies and fellow journalists - Rodney Dunigan, Telly Hughes and my coworker Lionel Moise. They were in town for the National Association of Black Journalists Convention.

Good luck. I'm out with my trainer DaShaun Johnson tonight. We don't have much longer to prep! Hang in there folks.
